Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

In legend, Lugia is the sea god who controls the movement of ocean currents!

"Wow..."

However, unlike Ash and his friends who were so bold in their observation, the three birds that had come along—the Fire, Electric, and Ice Birds—were all tense, even folding their wings and lying prostrate on the ground, looking like children who had done something wrong and were waiting for a stern elder to punish them.

Lugia ignored them for the time being, and simply used its psychic powers to part the sea surface, bringing the Pokémon affected by the tsunami near the port to the surface, and then used its strange power to help them recover from their injuries.

Ash and his friends' Pokémon, the three legendary birds, and even the giant Dragonite were also included. Soon, they felt their energy returning to their bodies... except for Dragonite.

Lugia in the game is not supposed to use any healing moves. It must have somehow drawn upon natural energy to make up for the shortage of Pokémon on site... Maybe it was the power derived from ocean currents!

However, the ancient Dragonite's foundation was simply too powerful. It might have even been a powerhouse on par with Lugia in the past, and even the Sea God couldn't help it fully recover its former glory.

"Woo~" After withdrawing its power, Lugia shook its head helplessly at the giant Dragonite.

Ash sensed it for a moment and guessed that Dragonite had only recovered to the level it was when he first met it at Cape White, which was the limit Lugia was willing to give.

After that, Lugia turned to the three legendary birds that had caused the trouble. With its huge eyes glaring angrily, it released its oppressive aura without reservation, and even the surrounding air began to freeze!

It is not actually the direct superior of this group of three sacred birds. After all, it has three gods in charge of ice, fire and thunder, who stay near Asia Island in the Orange Islands all year round. It would never be able to drift to the Kanto mainland, let alone be captured by evil guys!

Lugia only rushed over to quell the trouble because he sensed that a force of the same origin as himself was causing trouble here and triggering a series of changes in ocean currents.

Even so, its hierarchical suppression of the three sacred birds still prevented them from having any thoughts of resistance.

Legendary Pokémon like the three dogs and three birds have no gender or egg groups and can only be born naturally. Therefore, when they encounter Lugia, one of the three gods who wields a certain part of the power of nature, they will definitely feel awe and obedience from the bottom of their hearts.

Especially since they don't have a specific role yet, they need to get closer to the powerful figure in front of them.

"It's not their fault." Seeing that Lugia seemed to want to hold them accountable, Ash immediately spoke up to defend them. "They were controlled by bad guys before, and their actions were not their own choice... Besides, this time, thanks to Dragonite's timely intervention, there were no actual casualties. Let's just let it go."

Xiao Zhi has always adhered to this principle: everything must be based on basic 'reason'.

When such an incident occurs, it is necessary to consider whether the perpetrator acted voluntarily or passively, as well as the actual damage caused, rather than simply drawing a right or wrong conclusion.

"Screech?" Upon hearing this, the three legendary birds, led by Moltres, simultaneously showed expressions of surprise, quite unexpected that the human before them would plead for them.

"I also hope you won't pursue this any further," Gary chimed in. "If they weren't being controlled, Zapdos wouldn't have done such a thing."

"Yeah... and you didn't come over when the disaster first started. Isn't it a bit unfair of you to come here now to show off?" Xiao Lan muttered in a low voice.

She didn't dare say anything too outrageous, clearly afraid that Lugia might be as petty as that 'big-mouthed sparrow' and give her another soaking wet look on the spot.

“Lugia must have been delayed by something,” Ash mediated. “It must have been busy calming the tsunamis along the way, which is why it arrived a little late.”

Ash's guess is not wrong. The fusion of the three birds could not have been completed in Vermilion City. It should have been forced to fuse by Team Rocket and then controlled to head straight for Vermilion City. The tsunami caused along the way has affected countless towns!

Whether Lugia came from the Orange Islands or the Whirlpool Islands, she probably rescued people along the way and constantly eliminated the disasters she encountered.

"Huh?" Hearing Ash's words, Lugia seemed to become more interested and began to carefully examine Ash with its big eyes.

It quickly discovered Ash's unique qualities.

Superpowers aren't anything special; many humans can wield such power. Aura power, however, is very rare; it's simply a matter of exceptional talent…

But it is quite surprising that he received such a rare and natural gift!

In this day and age, is it still possible for humans to gain the genuine trust of nature and all Pokémon?!

Thinking this way, Lugia soon discovered another power in Ash!

"Huh?" It used its superpowers in confusion to retrieve the rainbow feather from Ash's backpack...

That's right!

This human really does have Ho-Oh's feathers on him!

Speaking of Lugia and Ho-Oh, their friendship is definitely that of old best friends who used to live across the street from each other. Lugia knows that the last time Ho-Oh 'accidentally' gave a feather to a human was ten or twenty years ago!

By the way, I gave one to someone else back then too~

So...it seems like there's potential.

Lugia's eyes darted around, and a strangely human, yet subtly amused, expression suddenly appeared on his face.

It suddenly wanted to see again just how furious the 'Shining Big-Beaked Sparrow' would be when it learned that its chosen hero—a human boy who was a true gem of the era—had been stolen away.

"Uh... are you curious about this?" Ash, of course, was unaware of Lugia's thoughts and simply assumed that it was interested in the Rainbow Wing.

"What...what's going on?!" But just as he was about to explain, he noticed a pure white feather suddenly drifting down from Lugia's body.

Like two outstretched wings, it flew straight to Ash...

Silver Feathers!

Chapter 236 Activation, Twin Golden and Silver Wings Shining Together

"Is this for me?"

Ash hesitated as he looked at the shimmering silver feathers before him, but did not immediately reach out to catch them.

On the first day of my trip, I encountered Ho-Oh, and after the Kanto finals, I encountered Lugia. As a result, these two even seemed to be competing and each plucked a feather... This situation is obviously very unusual.

Ho-Oh's feathers are related to the identity of the Rainbow Hero, and can even be extended to the Spirit World. So what are Lugia's feathers related to?

Are they going to create a Silver Hero or a Sea Hero?

Ash couldn't understand what Lugia meant... Of course, he hoped even more that Lugia didn't mean anything by it.

Rather than accepting these legendary missions, Ash now prefers to follow the plan step by step and take down Team Rocket first!

"Huh?" Lugia seemed dissatisfied with Ash's hesitation and kept urging him to accept the Silver Feather quickly.

You can take Phoenix's feathers, but you can't take mine?

"Alright, thank you for the gift..." There was no way Xiao Zhi could refuse now that the other person had gone so far as to be so nitpicky.

After all... going head-to-head with a top-tier player is bound to backfire; he's the one who'll suffer the consequences.

hum!

Just as Ash was about to casually put the two feathers away, the rainbow feather and the silver feather suddenly burst into dazzling light at the same time, as if they were reflecting each other!

They seemed to have stimulated each other's aura, each turning into an invisible ripple that instantly swept across every inch of Kanto and Johto, causing many related humans and Pokémon to react simultaneously!

Leading the group were the three legendary birds, who were right next to them. They suddenly felt as if they were being drawn to Ash... or more precisely, to the silver feather in his hand.

That feather contained a clear, distinct power fluctuation belonging to Lugia. Ash, enveloped by that fluctuation, would unconsciously develop a liking for the three legendary birds…

In addition, at the southernmost tip of Kanto, in a remote sea area, the genuine three gods of ice, fire, and thunder also sensed the same.

However, this wasn't out of goodwill; they simply didn't understand why Lugia, who already had three capable assistants, would go to the trouble of sharing its power with others!

Next came the Rainbow Feather. Affected by the ripples it released, a transparent bell in a tower in Ecruteak City suddenly rang, causing the Gym Leader who had been guarding outside the tower to stare in astonishment.

He subconsciously turned his head, and his gaze was accurately directed towards the direction of Kuroba City!

Meanwhile, inside the Enju Dance Hall, five beautiful girls dressed in kimonos, as if summoned by some unseen force, simultaneously stopped what they were doing.

Also stopping in their tracks were the three legendary beasts that were roaming around the Johto region: Suicune, Raikou, and Entei, all of whom simultaneously sensed a fleeting, familiar power.

At the same time, the flames sealed inside the Phoenix King's Courtyard on Silver Mountain suddenly shot up high!

Meanwhile, at the main venue of the Quartz Conference, Ma Xiu, who had traveled a long way from Carlos, suddenly paused, as if she had sensed some ancient calling.

"This feeling, could it be..."

Finally, even the original owner of the Rainbow Feather noticed the strange changes here!

The feather it had casually given away was activated before it even had a chance to investigate it?

Okay... it's that white guy causing trouble again!

Has it forgotten the lesson from last time? What kind of power would be generated when its feathers and its own come together...? How could it so easily hand over that power to a human again?!

Well... at this moment, the photographer was clearly unaware that its longtime best friend already knew more about the candidate hero than it did, and was certain that the other party would never repeat the same mistake!

...

"What just happened?" Ash, regaining his senses, looked at the two feathers in his hand that had lost their luster, his brows furrowing in confusion.

His intuition was right; something must have happened just now!

These two feathers seem to be sending out signals, and it's unclear what they're attracting!

"Luggia, you..."

"Woo~"

Ash frowned as he looked at Lugia, clearly hoping for an explanation, but Lugia casually said "bye-bye" and then flapped its wings and flew away!

That's right, they didn't say anything, didn't explain anything, and didn't even pay attention to the three sacred birds. They just flew away leisurely!

"This..." Xiao Zhi was completely dumbfounded.

He never understood why Lugia had given him the Silver Feather, nor did he know what would happen after the two feathers activated each other…

But he finally realized one thing... he was no longer qualified to ask questions of the top-tier experts.

He had always thought that since he had transmigrated into the body of Ahri, he should also have the opportunity to ride various mythical beasts, sit down and discuss the secrets of the world with them...

But it turns out he was overthinking it.

In some ways, communicating with these legendary deities on equal terms might be more difficult than simply riding on their backs.

Riding them is very simple. Just keep following Ash's path, participate in all sorts of crazy events, and genuinely care about the Pokémon in the process. In the end, you might get the chance to ride a legendary Pokémon and fight alongside it.
